Easy come, easy go. No big deal. They wouldn't think to use that stuff to hurt anyone.

Now this would be a good use of Predator drones. Use all possible surveillance methods (UAVs, satellite, aircraft, etc.) to locate the larger assets. When you locate something, send in a Predator to make it "go away".

I guess Washington really wasn't very concerned about "armor piercing" ammo after all...
